The little bride had a terrific marriage
The groom never felt any way but single
She reported about their union in gloriously complimentary ways
ignoring love letters left in her car by his girlfriends
The groom never wanted to be married
He felt roped into it, hogtied, lassoed, squirming and struggling
She bragged about the cupcake he brought her once in twenty years
She was in a marriage of one, defending him until the day he left for good
